On Father’s Day Weekend, Professor Byron Klaus shares a poignant story of Eli, a biblical father whose sons were scoundrels with no regard for the Lord. Despite failing as a father, Eli taught young Samuel how to listen to the voice of God. Eli became the bridge to Samuel’s destiny as mentor to King David, Israel’s greatest king. The word “father” may evoke pain for some, but a person’s true identity is only defined by God. As we lean on the Holy Spirit, may the grace of God powerfully transform and rearrange the patterns of our lives!
